Loved this and can definitely relate! Tarot is my personal tool for self care, reflection, and emotional processing - especially when I'm hitting emotional/mental blocks while processing otherwise - but my antidepressants and learned therapeutic tools from years of therapy have their place!
Funnily enough, my biggest motivation to maybe pursue psychiatric nursing is to round out my skills as a tarot reader: I know there's healing modalities in therapy that are more appropriate for what my clients may need at times and I just don't want others to deal with the specific ways I've been harmed by the medical field in search of that help. Until then, I have to stay in my lane if I want to help my clients the most - just like any ethical astrologer would!
I love this! And I'm so with you about staying in your lane. As astrologers and tarot readers we can be great advocates for helping our clients find the help they need.
As a person who is a high functioning bipolar nerd. I agree 💯 with you. Except I need a wee little bit of pharmaceuticals to keep myself balanced. Tarot, divination and astrology all help me understand the energies we as a collective are experiencing and myself as an individual.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope I do not come across as anti-pharmaceutical! They for sure have their place. All of these pieces have their place.
